Disk Song Playback You can playback a huge variety of songs on the PSR-540, including the preset demo songs, the songs on the included sample disk, the User songs that you record to a floppy disk and songs on commercially available XG/GM song collection disks. Except for the preset demo songs, a floppy disk must be inserted in the disk drive to playback a song. q The following disks are compatible for playback on the PSR-540 (including the sample disk). Refer to page 9 for more details on the logos. You can play back song files collected on these disks using the voices defined in the GM standard. You can play back songs using the XG format, an extension of the GM standardthat allows for much higher sound quality. You can play back song files collected on these disks using the voices defined in Yamaha's DOC format. q Disk songs can be played back in five different ways page 69 • SINGLE • SINGLE REPEAT • ALL • ALL REPEAT • RANDOM q Additional song playback functions: • Song Track Muting page 70 • Tempo/Tap page 36 • Song Volume Control page 70 • Song Transpose page 73 • Playing from a Specified Measure page 71 • Repeat Play page 72 • Make sure to read the section "Using the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks" on page 58. • The tempo setting of some commercially available disk songs is fixed. These songs are called "free-tempo software". When playing back free-tempo song data on the PSR-540, the Tempo display shows "- - -" and the beat display does not flash. Also, the measure number in the display does not match the actual measure number of playback, and only gives you an indication of how much of the song has played back. The song files on the included sample disk are also free-tempo software. • Since the PSR-540 has a 61key keyboard, certain song data that uses notes outside the 61-key range may not play back as expected.
